Literature:

Ian M. Thom, Living Harmony: FitzGerald’s British Columbia Landscapes, Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, page 4.

Note:

Thom writes that it took FitzGerald eight years to make the western journey which Varley had suggested in his letter of 1934 but when FitzGerald visited his daughter on Bowen Island in the summer of 1942 “...his reaction to the landscape was immediate and forceful.”
